Hints:

Big ant in Arizona level:
     Destroy  the  observatory  in  Arizona  and  wait  until the loud
explosion. Examine the big crater in the middle of the level to find a
big  asteroid.  Destroy  the  asteroid and a giant ant will emerge and
shoot everyone in the level.

Fire all ammo:
     Enable  the "Rapid Fire" code, then begin game play. Get any gun,
get  close  to an opponent, then rapidly tap Fire. The gun should fire
all of its ammunition in about five seconds.

Launch Site weapons:
     Go  to the tower in the middle of the Launch Site level. Approach
to the tunnel that does not go through and wait until the lights above
are  green  beforine  driving in. You will be taken up on to the tower
and  a  booster  rocket will be placed on back of you r vehicle. Then,
you  will  be shot into the air and dropped. Collect the weapons, that
include  specials  and  radar jammers. This may be repeated as much as
needed, unless the tower is destroyed.

Triple salvage points:
     Destroy  your  opponents  with  a  special  weapon  to get triple
salvage points.

Donuts of Doom:
     In  the  Arizona  level,  if  you  destroy the donut shop without
destroying the "Super Donut" on top, then you will knock the donut off
were  it will roll around the level destroying enemies. You can have 2
of them. After all,there are 2 donut shops.

Flood the Louisiana stage:
     In the Louisiana stage there are to bridges that you can raise by
shooting  the  crank  near them. They both have wrenchs above them. If
you raise them the water level of the swamp will rise flooding most of
the stage. This makes it much easier to collect t he items you need to
complete you quest.

Free repairing in California:
     To  get repaired back up to full health, do this: Go to the place
where  there is the ramp that goes up and down, and has a sign over it
with  two lights. Stay under it. When the lights turn green, you willl
start  to  be  repaired.  If this doesn't repair you fully, repeat the
process.

Launch your car in Florida:
     In  the  Florida  launch  site  go  behind  the launch pad to the
opening  in  the  middle  with lights on it. If the lights are red you
will  get warped to the usual opening but if you wait until the lights
above  the  opening  are  green  and enter you will be launched up the
tower  by  a  thruster  attached to your car were you can get a lot of
goodies  and  a parachute will open from your trunk before you hit the
ground
